• Have active autoimmune disease that has required systemic treatment in the past 2 years (e.g., with use of disease modifying agents, corticosteroids, or immunosuppressive drugs). Replacement therapy (e.g., thyroxine, insulin, or physiologic corticosteroid replacement therapy for adrenal or pituitary insufficiency) is not considered a form of systemic treatment. Those who had a history of autoimmune diseases with anticipated relapse (such as systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, vasculitis, etc.), except for those with clinically stable autoimmune thyroid disease or type 1 diabetes.
• Have had other malignant tumors within 5 years prior to the study treatment are not allowed. Except for those: who had locally treatment and have been cured (such as basal cell or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, superficial or non-invasive bladder cancer, carcinoma in situ of the cervix, ductal carcinoma in situ of the breast, and papillary carcinoma of thyroid; including prostate cancer with CR within the past 3 years)

• Have any of the following heart conditions within 6 months prior to the study treatment:

  • Acute coronary syndrome, coronary artery bypass grafting, congestive heart failure, aortic dissection, stroke, or other Grade 3 and above cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events.
  • New York Heart Association functional classification ≥II heart failure or left ventricular ejection fraction <50%.
  • Those who have ventricular arrhythmias requiring clinical intervention, second- to third-degree atrioventricular block, or congenital long QT syndrome. Participants with treated cardiac arrythmia/atrial fibrillation are allowed.
  • Mean QT interval corrected by Fridericia's method (QTcF) >480 ms.
  • Use of cardiac pacemaker.
  • Cardiac troponin I or N >2 x ULN.

• Have any of the following hypertension or diabetic conditions prior to initiation of study treatment:

  • A history of hypertensive crisis or hypertensive encephalopathy.
• Have serious non-healing wounds, ulcers, or bone fractures. This includes history of abdominal fistula, gastrointestinal perforation or intra abdominal abscess for which an interval of 6 months must pass before enrollment into this study. In addition, the participant must have undergone correction (or spontaneous healing) of the perforation/fistula and/or the underlying process causing the fistula/perforation.

• Participants with evidence of major coagulation disorders or other significant risks of hemorrhage such as:

  • History of intracranial hemorrhage or intraspinal hemorrhage.
  • Tumor lesions invading large blood vessels and are at significant risk of bleeding.
  • Had thrombosis or embolism within 6 months prior to initiation of study treatment.

• Have uncontrolled pleural effusion, pericardial effusion, or ascites requiring recurrent drainage procedures (once monthly or more frequently). Participants with indwelling catheters (e.g., PleurX) are allowed.
• Have uncontrolled tumor-related pain requiring analgesic treatment not managed by a stable analgesic regimen. For asymptomatic metastatic lesion, if its growth may cause dysfunction or intractable pain (e.g., current epidural metastasis unrelated to spinal cord compression), local treatment should be considered before screening, if appropriate.
• Have a known or suspected hypersensitivity to the study treatments including any active ingredient or excipients thereof.

• Have human immunodeficiency virus infection or known acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, with the following exceptions:

  • Participants with cluster of differentiation 4 (CD4)+ T-cell (CD4+) counts ≥350 cells/µL per local laboratory should generally be eligible for the study.
  • Participants who have not had an opportunistic infection within the past 12 months.

Individuals with positive serology must have hepatitis B virus viral load below the limit of quantification.
• Have active hepatitis C virus infection; individuals who have completed curative antiviral treatment with hepatitis C virus viral load below the limit of quantification are allowed.
• Are subject to exclusion periods from another investigational study.
• Are vulnerable individuals, i.e., are individuals whose willingness to volunteer in a clinical study may be unduly influenced by the expectation, whether justified or not, of benefits associated with participation, or of a retaliatory response from senior members of a hierarchy in case of refusal to participate.
• Participants with AEs from prior antitumor therapy that have not returned to Grade 1 (graded by CTCAE v5.0 criteria) or below (unless the investigator determines that certain AEs pose no safety risk to participants, such as hair loss, Grade 2 peripheral neuropathy or stable hypothyroidism under hormone replacement therapy) are not eligible for the study.

Those with a history of pulmonary fibrosis, or currently diagnosed with severe lung diseases such as interstitial pneumonia, pneumoconiosis, chemical pneumonitis, or any other condition resulting in significant impairment in lung function. Exception: Asymptomatic interstitial changes caused by previous radiation therapy, chemotherapy, or other factors such as smoking are acceptable.
• Have active tuberculosis or history of tuberculosis that was not successfully treated.
• Have underlying condition(s) that may increase risk of the combination treatment or complicate the interpretation of toxicities and AEs, as judged by the investigator, or other scenarios that the investigators consider the participant is not eligible for the study.
• Those who are expected to require non-study antitumor drug therapy during the study.
